Tho Indiana ~Senatorship creates . ques-
ton as to the validity Of the selection Of q
Lieutenant Governorship-the Same Leg
islature which elected Turpie. The New
York World, commenting on the course OF
that body, says:
The Democrats OF the Indiana Legislg-
ture do not justify the recently expressed
opinion that their party has abandoned its
habit OF laundering. A Democrat created
q vacancy in the Lieutenant Governors
Office by accepting q federal appointment.
His party recognized the vacancy by nom
mating and voting for a candidate for the
Office. Owing to a miscalculation, they
were beaten in the election. They then
concluded the vacancy must STAND
for / tho uIeXpired part OF tho
term. The case was submitted to the
court, and thGt tribunal has twice decided
that the Legislature alone has Jurisdiction.
The Legislature hss ,exercised it%sauthority
by canvassing the votes and declaring Mr..
Robertson elected. 1t geems gratuitous
folly for the Democratic to resist by violent
methods the seating OF the Lieutenant
Governor. 1t is not Democratic to Of.
tempt to defeat the will Of the people.
The Cleveland Leader, after having di.
gestet these fscts, remarks shat the re-
suit Of the deadlock, thus conclusively
shown to be duo to Democratic conspir.
acy and violence, and which will result in
a failure to pass any valid act, even the
appropriation bills, will make the State
practically lure for the Republicans in
1855; for it is inconceivable that the PEG,
pie Of Indiana will condone the outrage
GUS conduct Of the Democratic leaders,
which is condemned by Democratic NOM
bors OF the Legislature and leading Dem.

that is the abuse, not the use. In every

A farmer, 81 years old. man of
wealth and character, whose father was
a drunlard, hut who himself never used
any kind of spirits, showed symptoms of
intoxication after meeting with en- acci-
dent from runaway horse. AT the
funeral of a child, some months later,
his family were greatly mortified at mis-
silly language, staggering gait, and other
marked symptoms of intoxication. A
year later a similar attack followed the
burning of some buildings on his farm.
There are similar cases in which the
nerve degeneration is due. not to heredity,
but to early habits of intoxication. A
noted temperance lecturer, total alb
stainer for ten years or more, received
while lecturing dispatch announcing
the fatal illness of his daughter. He drank
a glass of water, became confused, stag

The Alaskan natives live in very pc
culiarly constructed houses. The struct-,
lires are of half hewn logs, one story
high, with only one door. The interior
of tie house is divided off into email
compartments, not larger than the state
rooms on an ocean steamer, and In each
of these little rooms sleep an entire
family. The floor of the dwelling is of
beaten clay, and is depressed several
inches below the surface of tho surround
ing land. In the center of the floor is a
fireplace of rough stones. ON which tho
cooking for the entire household, num-
bering at times as high as scventy-fivc
persons, is done. The smoke escapes

intelligence Of Ants.

One day, while watching small
column of these foraging ants, placed O
little stone on one of them to secure it.
The next that approached, as soon as it
discovered its situation, ran back in an
agitated manner to communicate the in-
telligence TO the others.
They rushed to the rescue. Some bit
at the stone and tried to move it; others
seized the prisoner by the legs and tlggcd
with such force that / thought the legs
would be pulled off, but they persevered
till they got the captive free.
next covered one up with a piece of
clay, leaving only the ends of his attennn
projecting. 1t was soon discovered by its
fellows, which set to work Immediately,
and by biting Off pieces of the clay, soon
liberated it. Another time found q
very few of them passing along at inter-
walls. confined one of these under a
piece of clay, at a little distance from tho
line, with its head projecting.
Several ants passed it, but at last one
discovered it, and tried to pull it out, but
could not. 1t Immediately set off at a
great rate, and thought it had deserted
its comrade; but it had only gone for as
sistance, for In short time about dozen
ants came hurTying up, evidently fully
informed of the circumstances of tho
case, for they made directly for their inn
prisoned comrade and soon set him free. -
